No, I'm definitely not allergic to beef. I'm a senior citizen and have
been eating beef almost all my life with no known allergic reactions. I
enjoy a good pot roast, all beef hot dog, or prime rib roast. They
smell and taste good to me. There's just something about the smell of
cooking ground beef (and steak) that seriously nauseates me. I suspect
that it is odor given off by the beef fat when it is subjected to high
temperatures (hot enough to generate all those carcinogens). My palate
enjoys chicken, fish, shellfish, octopus, squid, venison, antelope, pork
and even lamb far more than beef. I guess that there's no accounting
for taste.
